we can't afford to run 1.2 to $1.5 trillion deficits every year. and we can't afford to bring obama care on to the books, because we know it has already doubled in its predicted cost. it was -- >> congresswoman, forgive me for cutting you off. but final question, yes or no, you think you'll be on the hill come christmas talking about this? >> oh, no, no. i think what you're going to do is see us find a way to move the bulk of this, to get past the fiscal cliff to address that, and then to have a good discussion. i'm pleased to welcome the president, the democrats to the discussion. this is something some of us have been trying to get done for many years. and i'm delighted to see that they're finally putting their attention on it. we have to get the fiscal house in order. >> thank you so much. live for me on the hill today, appreciate it. >>> today, business titans. tomorrow, the business guy trying to take his job. that's right, president obama and mitt romney will be meeting at the white house for lunch in the private dining room, no, no. no camer

the whole tea party movement began as a principled protest against deficits and debt. people saying it was generational theft. the problem is if you start elevating the anti-tax pledge, that anti-tax absolutism, ahead of making a deal on deficit and debt, you're not going to get anywhere. only way you pay it down is if you agree we have to raise revenues. you can make an argument that the tea party movement should get behind a grand bargain, a deficit and debt deal, if they're serious about what they see and what they said was an existential threat to our country. we need to disenthrall ourselves from the extreme voices who choked off reasonable debate in washington. >> don't fear the grover. best quote of the day. john avalon, always a pressure. thank you for coming on. >>> looming fiscal cliff you're hearing so much about is one reason republicans are having a change of heart on this whole no tax pledge. the term fiscal cliff evokes scary imagery, but it is not so much a cliff as it is a set of stairs with the spending cuts and tax hikes getting more painful with eac
